Paramedics this morning responded to a
serious collision in Paarl which involved two light motor vehicles just before
the old tunnel.
It
is believed the man in the Sierra overtook another vehicle and collided head on
with another vehicle.
Both vehicles came to a standstill on
opposite sides of the road.
ER24 Spokesperson Vanessa Jackson said that
paramedics stabilised him while he was still in the vehicle and the Metro
rescue team then used the Jaws of Life to remove the car from around him,
thereafter he was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
“The woman who was
driving in the other vehicle sustained moderate injuries and she managed to
climb out of the wreckage of her vehicle by herself,” added Jackson
She said that the
woman was found seated on the side of the road and was in a stable condition she
was also later transported to hospital for further care.
